GTA in NY?

Does anyone else think that setting GTA4 in a non-fictional setting could be a mistake?

One of the appeals of GTA has been the humourous easter eggs and jokes in their made up places. Not to mention the amount of fun and intresting stuff they could put in.

It just seems like they are about to turn the series super serious. Huge mistake in my opinion..

Or they are trying to outshine True Crime

That won't be too difficult..

It's still taking place in a non-fictional setting; it's just borrowing certain real-life landmarks and making a farce of them.

aah I just figured by the trailer they were going out to make a replica of NY

well in the trailer i think i saw the statue of liberty!!!!

soooo......... i guess is going to be in NY

and they are still putting funny stuff like the name of a building which is "GetAlife"

The game is from ROCKSATR,you hardly expect them to take it like it is,of course there going to mix things up a bit,but they better be careful about what they put in,there has already been a statement bout GTA 4 only looking like New york,not actually acting like new york,so they might have to be careful not to paint the wrong picture for people or they could have a lawsuit.

ya i'm pretty sure that they can do all the stuff in the game and have it take place in a real city.  I may be wrong but from the disclamer at the beginning of most of the GTA games thats what it seems like to me

not exactly...its taking place in a fictional setting. Non-fiction means real, fiction is fake. Easy mix up.

meh. i think they should have chosen somewhere completely different than what they have done before. I hope they have some new features in there as well. it looks like this is "just another GTA" with pretty graphics.standcm12

Yeh I agree

san andreas was based of california so this will be based of nyc

People need to get over this, i hate all this political correctness crap.

How bout we stop arguing over the location, and start to ponder on the features.
